The government approved the Mor Yosef Committee recommendations for rehabilitating wounded IDF soldiers, but the decision includes an across-the-board 4% cut to the base budgets of several ministries starting in 2027, according to a report by N12 journalist Yuval Shdeh. The cut was not publicly highlighted.
The government's decision to adopt the Mor Yosef Committee's recommendations for rehabilitating wounded IDF soldiers includes an across-the-board 4% cut to the base budgets of several ministries starting in 2027, according to N12 journalist Yuval Shdeh. The cut was not publicly highlighted in the initial announcement. Earlier this month, Channel 14 reported that the government had dropped the rehabilitation budget from the agenda, prompting criticism from journalist Hadar Miller. The new decision appears to reverse that omission, but the inclusion of a budget cut has raised concerns among advocates for wounded soldiers. The Mor Yosef Committee, named after the late IDF officer, was established to formulate recommendations for the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers. The across-the-board cut is part of broader fiscal measures, though its impact on rehabilitation programs remains unclear. The government has not yet commented on the report.
